i and her companions strode towards Yui is table.
Youre pretty thick skinned, arent you? Youre the source of the curse and yet there you are, brazenly sitting. What the heck do you an by this?
Yes, thats so true.
Go and disappear right now.
i started an argunt, and her minions sang the sa tune.
Good morning. Its still early yet everyones pretty energetic.
Yui i could not retort, since i was her senior, so she decided to greet them, instead. They were waiting for her to grimace and show a bad attitude. However, Yui i shut them up with her seemingly ordinary deanor. This evasion technique was her thod of saying she wont go with their flow.
i and the other girls flinched, but they soon regained their composure.
Youre such a shaless person. Youre spreading the curse so the court ladies decreased, yet there you are, selling yourself without batting an eye.
The other girls affird is outrageous exaggeration.
Really, she shouldnt be allowed to enter here.
Everyone will be cursed.
They continued inciting the other court ladies, until everyone stealthily left the dining hall while carrying their bowls.
Rather than bothering Yui i, it was i and the girls who were expending unnecessary effort.
Sorry for troubling you guys.
Yui i regretted disturbing the other court ladies breakfast, even though it was is party who made a ruckus. It seed that i and the girls would continue pestering them, so Yui i decided to counter attack.
You said I sold myself, but I was only doing the cleaning jobs at that ti. Since i is my supervisor, they might also favor you if you work with .
Yui i implied that it was their fault for neglecting their duties and playing around. A tiny laugh resounded from the kitchen. Even if the dining hall was deserted, the kitchen staff was still there. i blushed furiously after being laughed at.
Anyway, the uproar regarding the curse started way back before Ah i ca, isnt it? Dont tell you cant compute the days, i?
i wrinkled her nose when she heard i Nas consecutive cutting remarks in defense of Yui i. She went through great pains to doll up with costics, but it was ruined by her ugly scowl.
You dare strut around just because you caught the crown princes fancy! Mark my words, when I beca His Highness the crown princes concubine, Ill definitely send you off to do heavy labor!!
Hey, i!
Wait!
i angrily threw those words, and briskly walked away, followed by her minions.
Yui i and i Na were the only ones left at the dining hall.
So that person is targeting the crown prince, huh.
Thats why she was extrely vexed that Yui i t the crown prince directly.
Really, what an awful guy.
i Na heaved a deep sigh and grumbled. Yui i shrugged.
Lets leave them be, theyll be happier if we pay attention to them.
She would just get tired if she were to confront them, so it was best to ignore them. i Na was amused at Yui is remark.
Ah i, youre quite farsighted for your age.
Yui i also acknowledged that she sounded too old-fashioned, since she had mories of her previous world. Nevertheless, she still intended to enjoy the feelings of a maiden her age.
Yui i felt tired after dealing with i; however, she had to work after eating her breakfast.
Todays another day of cleaning
Yui i humd as she walked through the corridors while carrying her tools. She then saw a eunuch approaching from the other end. It was soone familiar.
Wait, isnt that the crown princes attendant?
A eunuch had a questionable existence, but no mistake, they had a higher status compared to her. Yui i stood to the side and bowed her head, so as not to obstruct the other persons path.
Hurry up and pass quickly.
Yui i inwardly said, but contrary to her expectations, the eunuch stopped before her.
So you were here. Good, I dont have to go to the court ladies lodging house.
His low voice, which was sothing one wont often hear in the Inner Palace, made Yui i extrely uncomfortable. However, apparently, the eunuch had so business with her.
How may I help you? Ahm
Yui i raised her head to ask, but she suddenly stopped when she rembered that she didnt know the na of this eunuch.
Wang Libins the na. You can call Libin.
He noticed her uncertainty, so he introduced himself.
The surna Wang was very common in the Inner Palace, so he wanted her to distinguish him from the rest. Yui i also knew a handful of people with that surna, including Lady Wang, and five court ladies.
I understand. Libin, how may I help you?
Yui i repeated her question.
Noble Concubine Jiang was delighted with the mushipan you gave her. The crown prince heard about it, and was also pleased. He sent to bestow his reward upon you.
So he ca to deliver the reward.
For the crown prince to be satisfied, it is truly an honor. The court lady who made the mushipan will also feel glad.
Yui i replied to Libin.
.
Libin did not reply. Yui i thought that since the conversation ended, it was ti to return to her work. However, it was quite explicable that this man ca looking for her just to relay those words.
Well, this is much more preferable than if the crown prince himself ca here instead.
Yui i was already sticking out like a sore thumb; she did not want to be conspicuous any more than this. She didnt know what rumors would fly should soone see her alone with the crown princes attending eunuch; moreover, with just the two of them.
If that is all, then please excuse .
Yui i turned to go.
Are you always wandering around with that appearance?
Libin suddenly asked.
Indeed?
Yui i was wearing her court lady uniform, and her mask. Speaking of, she forgot to remove it. She thought he was pointing it out, however
Cover all your hair with a cloth.
Libin stood behind Yui i. He gathered her hair and skillfully coiled it into a bun, before covering it with the handkerchief he took out from his bosom.
This should be fine.
Libin removed his hand, and Yui i touched her hair. It was more beautifully arranged than how she did it.
What a dextrous guy.
Yui i wanted to see how it was, so she peered at her reflection on the glass windows. Libin stared at her from behind.
Standing out in the Inner Palace is not a good thing. Your hair is too ostentatious. It would do you well to hide it.
.Huh.
Well, sorry for disturbing you.
Libin waved his hand at Yui i, who nodded uncertainly, before returning to the corridor. Yui i followed his retreating figure until he was out of sight, before touching the hood wrapped around her head.
This is silk, though.
She must have looked ridiculous, wearing a hood that was a lot more expensive than her clothes. Since it was not made with cotton, Libin probably ca from an affluent family. Then why on earth was he a eunuch? He was also very manly; he couldve chosen to beco a gate guard.
No, I shouldnt bring this up.
She reminded herself, trying to suppress her curiosity and desire to solve a mystery. She was sure it must be a troubleso and complicated matter. In the anti, she took the kerchief off, and changed it with the cloth cover she used during cleaning. She pulled it low to cover her eyes.
This silk handkerchief might co in handy soday, so Yui i decided to treasure it,
T/L Thoughts: Yui i and Li Yong et again ? Is that a keepsake from our male lead??? (based on the synopsis, no spoilers intended). ?
